what I need is to be able to

My solution:

const setParams = (data) => {
    if (typeof data !== 'undefined' && typeof data !== 'object') {
        return
    }

    let url = new URL(window.location.href)
    const params = new URLSearchParams(url.search)

    for (const key of Object.keys(data)) {
        if (data[key] == 0) {
            params.delete(key)
        } else {
            params.set(key, data[key])
        }
    }

    url.search = params
    url = url.toString()
    window.history.replaceState({ url: url }, null, url)
}

Then just call "setParams" and pass an object with data you want to set.

Example:

$('select').on('change', e => {
    const $this = $(e.currentTarget)
    setParams({ $this.attr('name'): $this.val() })
})

In my case I had to update a html select input when it changes and if the value is "0", remove the parameter. You can edit the function and remove the parameter from the url if the object key is "null" as well.

Hope this helps yall
